my nesting boxes

MY nesting boxes, we have placed dividers between each nesting box, but we are finding that they are roosting on them, and they have lots of other choices to roost, so do you think it would be ok if we just removed the dividers and just had the nesting boxes, with their bedding still but kust one big nestinng box? ALSO IT STINKS ANY SOLUTIONS TO CUT ON THE SMELL

It is recommended that you block off your nest boxes until your birds are laying.. this will discourage them from roosting in them .. I personally would not take out teh dividers as hens prefer a enclosed snug place to lay.. You can also physically move the birds to the roost until they get the hang of it ..

Not sure what your nest boxes look like. When I made my nest boxes, I made them with a steeply slanted top. The chickens can get up there but they have to work constantly to keep from sliding off. I've never had them try to roost on the nest boxes. As a result, they don't poop up there either.
